Why not just use sprintf() ?  Sure adding <stdio.h> will increase the size
but the costs shouldn't be that high.

I'm not sure if it's right or not but you can create an [io]strstream instance
(using the char location you want) and then use the << or >> operators to
input or output your ints, floats, etc... to your stream.  Comments on
correctness??

That is correct. It is quite possible to use strstream. First write to
the stream with << operator using whatever datatype You want. Then
read the output back into a string. If several values were written
to the stream with spaces between the values it is not appropiate
to read it back into the string using >> because a space works as
a delimiter and only the first value will be read. It is better
to use the getline operation which reads a maximum number of chars
or until a specified delimiter is read (default \n).

Is there any similar C++ command to C's "sprintf"?
I have a mixture of data types (ie. int, floats, strings, etc.) that I want
to put into one string, in their proper formats.  If I use sprintf, I have
to include "stdio.h", and since this is the only function that needs this
include file, I'd like to replace it with a similar C++ command.

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
